Summary
Join Michael at his New Year's Meditation Retreat in Costa Rica! Click here: https://events.agapelive.com/awaken-to-a-new-year-of-possibility/
Over the past couple of years, Take Back Your Mind has received several questions about meditation including, what is it? Why do it? Who is it for? Am I doing it right? How do I reach deeper levels of awareness? Today, Michael talks about the art, science, and practice of meditation where he addresses these questions—and so much more—followed by an extended guided meditation session.
Highlights include:
-A clear definition of meditation: paying undistracted attention to Reality and being present with our thoughts, sensations, and emotions without resisting or enhancing them
-The benefits of meditation: less anxiety and reactivity; more clarity, creativity, resilience, and Source-led decision making; better sleep, balanced blood pressure, immune support, and neuro-regeneration through consistent practice
-Breaking myths like "my mind's too busy" to meditate—why busyness is exactly why we meditate and observing "thinking-ness" instead of fighting it
-Why meditation is a universal human practice for everyone—parents, athletes, teachers, leaders—not just monks or yogis
-From starting your practice to the mature practice that recognizes meditation is portable and can be done any time and anywhere
-Various meditation tools: guided, breath, mantra, observation and frequency music options that make practice accessible and flexible
-Spotting classic blockers at the edge of insight and stabilizing the insight so revelation becomes a living state, not a memory
-Bringing the vibe with you—before meetings, generate the quality (peace, love, support) and walk in carrying it
-Michael's extended guided meditation on intention, attention, and breath
